Our classes
Be Still Movement classes are aimed at building strength and resilience, physically, mentally and spiritually.
The physical movements (based on yoga postures) are designed to strengthen the muscles, increase flexibility and improve balance.
Breathing exercises and mindfulness prompts, along with a short relaxation/meditation session at the end of class, help to calm the nervous system and promote mental and emotional health.
Our classes also nurture spiritual health by giving the opportunity to dwell on biblical wisdom and connect with God, for those who would like to. Otherwise, participants can simply choose to focus on their breath.
When practiced regularly, these classes can improve your overall wellness and approach to life, helping you feel more calm, centred, positive and strong in the midst of daily life and challenges.
What are the benefits?
Where do we start? There are so many! If you practice regularly, just some of the benefits include:
-
With regular exercise, you'll notice increased muscle strength and even improved bone density.
-
The movements of yoga, in particular, can improve your flexibility and balance, reducing the risk of injuries and falls, and improving posture.
-
Both exercise and yoga can help alleviate stress and promote a sense of relaxation. This is particularly helped by the breathing exercises, mindfulness and meditation/ relaxation in our classes, which activate the parasympathetic nervous system, decreasing your heart rate and promoting a sense of calm. Reduced stress also lowers blood pressure and promotes heart health.
-
Regular exercise releases endorphins – “feel-good” hormones that elevate your mood and reduce stress and anxiety.
-
Engaging in physical activity can boost your energy levels and reduce fatigue.
-
Studies have proven that yoga promotes cardiovascular fitness (and heart health) and can help manage weight (along with a healthy diet).
-
Exercise and yoga can improve the quality of your sleep, making you feel more energised in daily life.
